  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Don't you just hate it when you have that one relative who likes telling people you are related to royalty?

I mean, regardless if it was true or not. Which in this case it wasn't.

For years my Grandmother had been bragging to people telling them we were related to royalty, to Queen Mary of Scots no less. Well, we got so sick and tired of hearing it that we finally had a DNA test done to see if it was true. Turns out it was not true! HA! We are not royalty after all! I think this evidence embarrassed her really bad that she had been proven wrong and she hasn't talked about it since.

The test told us we were 99% English and only 1% Scottish. Any link to Scottish royalty is far too weak to count.

I just don't understand why people make outlandish claims without any evidence backing up such claims. And besides, even if someone is of royal blood, why does that make them special?

I have relatives who report a relationship to royalty and various historical figures.
I am not particularly offended by it.
I find it interesting, but I take it with a grain of salt.

I tease my wife that I am only a heartbeat away from being the next "Queen of England!" :p
